My Philosophy of Teaching

When I think about my role as a teacher, one thing I need to focus is the ability and

unique characteristics of my students. I believed each human came from a different

family background. As an educator my task is to build a good relationship with my

students that will be based on mutual respect and trust and everything will then follow.

I need to be more enthusiastic to gain excitement and interest of my class to develop

their listening skills and achieve a positive response to my daily lesson.

As a 21st century educator, I need to be more flexible and adapt to what’s in on our

society. I may not be a teacher by profession but I will assure myself and the parents to

be the best I can to help my students reach their goals in life by sharing them and

teaching them the knowledge and ideas they need. As a teacher, I may be in the

position of authority, but don’t need to be authoritarian. I will allow my students to

express themselves, this is one way of letting them grow as human beings and as a

learner, but while doing so I need to set appropriate limitations. A classroom is their

second home, I need to let them feel that they are welcome and comfortable to use the

resources provided to them. A welcoming and safe classroom helps them to be more

motivated to come to class regularly. To be a professional teacher is not just a duty and

task, it is a passion and dedication that’s within us. These characteristics are not being

learned, but instead, it is our self-realizations that this is our profession and we are so

much willing to be part of the career growth of our students. Being a teacher is a gift

from God, being patient is one of the qualities that not everyone is given a chance. I

may not be a perfect teacher, but I am willing to learn something new to make my

career change even better. When God is the center of every positive action, Trust him

and everything will put in the right place.
